Hidden inside the car, actuation parts are often considered as ‘safety critical’ parts. Automotive actuators are used in the actuation of various systems such as power seats and brake systems of the vehicle. One of the important system is brake actuation system which is small mechanically operated device used to ensure that the front and rear brakes are applied at the same instance. In a front wheel drive car, approximately 60% weight is over the front wheels, in order to avoid skid developed from imbalance equalization system is achieved using brake actuation systems. Automotive brake actuation system does not only prevent wheel lock during braking but also control behavior of the car under serious driving conditions by supporting various system such as electronic brake force distribution (EBD) traction control system (TC), hydraulic brake assist (HBA) or cornering brake control (CBC). As the concern over safety is growing across the globe such systems are gaining increasing traction among the OEMs and users.

Automotive Brake Actuation Systems Market: Drivers & Restraints

The global automotive brake actuation system market is increasing rapidly due to various factors such as stringent government norms related to safety and consumer preferences shifting to new technology advancement and active safety features.
